Christmas and The Pioneer Woman! {giveaway!}

It is amazing!! It is one of the most beautiful cookbooks I think I've ever seen. Seriously.
It's HUGE! And heartwarming. And inspirational. And made me teary eyed. (cookbooks shouldn't make people tear up, but this one did.)
Some recipes are incredibly simple. (like chocolate dipped marshmallows.) And some are much fancier, but of course Ree lays it all out in a way that lets you know you can do it too. (like prime rib. and quail.)

I have loved all of her cookbooks, but this one is just on a whole new level. It will be loved and used for years and years.
It covers every possible holiday and is full of tips for timing and making your meal planning easier.

Barn Kitty jumped up while I was trying to snap photos.

Lilo just wanted the food on the pages to come to reality so she could eat it all.

For Christmas I just want a big bowl of Burgundy Mushrooms. No meat required. Just shrooms.

And maybe a side of guacamole. Because there's never enough guac in my life. Ever.

And I'll finish with Caramel Apple Sweet Rolls. Because they have fruit in them, and I'm all about having a healthy balanced diet.

And guess what? Ree has agreed to sign a cookbook and ship it straight to you!
How cool is that?!
As great as that is, we will also include one of our new Christmas ornaments from The Rusted Chain!(you choose Santa or Snowman.)

So you can win a signed cookbook from The Pioneer Woman and a custom ornament from The Rusted Chain!!

To enter: Leave a comment on this blog answering "What is your favorite Christmas food?"
(for additional entries: Tweet this, Facebook it, or Pin one of the above images to pinterest. Please leave additional comments for each thing you do.)

We'll draw a random winner this Friday.
(I'm not paid or compensated in any way to do this giveaway. I wasn't asked to do it. I just love food, Ree, Christmas, and The Rusted Chain. The end.)

Eggnog, although that is a drink and not food. Hope it still counts :-))) Our family LOVES watching the Pioneer Woman on Saturdays. My 7 year old recently suggested that Ree could come live with us and do all the cooking, I would be in charge of cleaning. Apparently, my cooking isn't up to par which means I NEED this cookbook! L0L! If my name is drawn she really needs to sign the book to my boys, they would be thrilled!!

a recipe my mom had, and we only eat at Christmas. Its called "cinnamon candy apples". You dice apples (you can even use canned, drained) and pour into whatever size casserole dish, Pour some red hot cinnamon candies over them, let set for an hr. and then bake at 375 until bubbly and apples are done. Its so good, and reminds me of my mom, who has passed.

My favorite Christmas food is cookies. Any kind will do, but particularly ginger snaps and snickerdoodles. And I think pumpkin pie is still considered Christmas food although it's also Thanksgiving food.

I would flip with joy to win this giveaway! My mom's side of the family is 100% Italian, and we make homeade cannoli for thanksgiving. The rolled cookie vs the pasta. So cannolis, dipped in shaved chocolate w/a marashino cherry at the end does it for me;)

Homemade divinity! My grandmother's recipe. And I've been following Ree Drummond since BEFORE she went viral ... what an amazing and funny lady, with cooking talent to boot. I have both of her first 2 cookbooks and am looking forward to her new endeavor as well. And The Rusted Chain??!! LOVE you guys! Thanks for a chance at an amazing prize giveaway event!

My favorite Christmas food are Toroires (not sure if the spelling is right- but that's how my grandma spelled it lol). They're anise flavored, glazed doughy cookies. Every year she made me a tin of them. I was fortunate enough to get her recipe so now I carry on the tradition of making them at Christmas. :)

Mom's Mini HaHas. Every winter, about early December Mom would get us to start cracking and peeling pecans. Then she would start her shopping for all the dried fruits and a 1/5 of JD. Mini HaHas are a cookie that is much like fruit cake with a meringue that has a pecan half all baked on top. So basically you bake the fruit cake style cookie. Then make fresh meringue. When the cookies have cooled you dollop the meringue on top, stick a pecan half in and pop them back into the oven for the pecan and meringue to toast. Mom is in her 80s now and not in the best of health. We don't get Mini HaHas anymore. Maybe I should start making them for my grandsons. Hmmmm.... I watch The pioneer Woman every Saturday. I've seen ads for this cookbook. I'd love to own a signed copy!!! It would just make my day, week, month, year!

My hubby and I make the bestest ever..white chocolate reeses peanut butter fudge...a must during the holiday...Would love, love, this recipe book..and either of the ornaments from The Rusted Chain....Thanks for this give away...Blessings!

My favorite food - cut out sugar cookies with buttercream frosting. The recipes belong to my grandmother. Love the memories that I have made/will make with my 4 children making these cookies. And the messes!

I would pin, facebook and all those other things for additional entries, but I do not have any of those. Yes, I know....sad. :)
